SOVIET HOT RECOGNIZED
State Department Note Indi
cates Determination to
; Restrain Red Hand.
. 'WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (By
the Associated Press.) The Ameri
can government declared today for
the maintenance of the political in
dependence and territorial integrity
of Poland and against dismember
ment of Russia.
In a note to the Italian ambas
sador, Secretary Colby, speaking
with the approval of President Wil
son, said - the United States "took
no exception" to the efforts to ar
range" an armistice between Poland
and Russia and would "regard with
satisfaction" a declaration by the
allied and associated powers that
the "territorial integrity and true
boundaries" of Russia would be re
spected. ( Reds Not Recognized.
The government stated, however,
that IV -would not, at least for the
present, participate in any plan to
expand armistice negotiations into a
general European conference be
cause it might involve two results
from which the United States
"strongly recoils."
"Recognition of the bolshevist re
time. "Settlement of Russian problems
almost inevitably upon the basis of
a dismemberment of Russia."
The note was in response to an
agreeable intimation" from the ltal
ian ambassador that his government
would welcome a statement of the
American government's views. Much
of it was devoted to a statement of
the sympathetic feeling of the
United States toward the Russian
people.
kv State Secrets Disclosed.
', In reviewing past events, the sec
retary of state disclosed some diplo
matic secrets. He" revealed that the
American government had withheld
approval from the decision of the
supreme council recognizing inde
pendence of the "so-called republics"
of Georgia and Azerbaijan, because
part of them were taken from the
old Russian empire.
It also was stated that the United
States had held that the final deter
mination of the boundaries of Arme
nia, which the president had been
asked by the allies to fix, "must not
be made without Russia's co-operation."
Baltic States Considered. -
It was disclosed that the United
States had refused to recognize the
Baltic states, with the exception of
Finland, a once independent nation,
because it held they were rightly a
part of Russia and that the territory
should be held for the Russian peo
ple until they organize a stable
government.
"We are unwilling," the note de
clared, "that while it is helpless in
the grip of a non-representative gov
ernment, whose only sanction is bru
tal force, Russia shall be weakened
still further by a policy of dismem
berment conceived in other than
Russian interests."
In declaring complete sympathy
of the United States with the Rus
sian people, Mr. Colby denounced
the soviet leaders. His language
was compared with that contained
in the proposal of the then Secretary
Lansing two years ago that the bol
sheviki be declared international
outlaws.
j Troop Withdrawal Required.
We cannot," Mr. Colby said, "rec
ognize, hold official relations with
or give friendly reception to the I
agents of a government which is j
determined and bound v to conspire

CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. 10.
(Special.) The head of the American
Legion came to Centralis today to
pay homage at the graves of the four
men who were slain by members of
the I. W. W. last Armistice day. Two
hundred legion men and women ac
companied - Franklin D'Oller, their
national commander, in his visit to
the scene of the tragedy and stood
with bowed heads in Mountain View
cemetery as he pledged the legion
to everlasting reverence of the mem
ory of its martyred members.
There was nothing of rancor in
D'Olier's reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paraders. The
"wobbly" orator, of typical eloquence,
would have been disgusted at the re
straint with which -the legion leader
referred to the enemies of his organ
ization and the enemies of his organ
ization's country.
Speech Carrie Warning;.
But the speech served warning, as
hundreds of other incidents of legion
history of the last year have 'served
warning, that the legion is a wall of
steel against all advocates of vio
lence, whether they dub themselves
"wobblies" or parlor bolshevists.

CHICAGO. Aug. 10. The railway
labor board today handed down a
decision increasing waszes of employes
of the American Railway Express
company $30,000,000 .yearly.
The decision will be submitted to the
80,000 men affected In a referendum
with a recommendation that it be ac
cepted, officials of the four unions
said tonight. No formal meeting was
held, it not being deemed necessary
in view of the award, which was
greeted with satisfaction.
The award is retroactive to Mar 1,
1920. The wage increase, amounting I
to 16 cents an hour, will give mes
sengers and other train service em
ployes an increase of S3S 4C a month.
All other employes will receive an in
crease of $32.64.
Train service employes work on
240-hour month basis, hlle all other
employes work on a 204-hour basis.
Under the terms oi the Esch-Cum-
mlns transportation act the express
company will be permitted to raise
its rates sufficiently to meet the in
creased labor cost. Arguments in the
rate case already have been presented
before the-interstate commerce com
mission at Washington.
It was announced that a decision
covering new working rules would be
handed down later.
The express decision applies to all
express employes with the exception
of 2500 shopmen, to whom was' given j
a 13-cents-an-nour increase in tne
railway award last mootn. The 16
cents an hour award is nightly bet

railroad men, the board finding that
express employes, as a class, were not
so well paid as men in other lines of
railroad work. &

DAYTON. O.
Aug. 10 (Special.)
The comments of public men and
newspapers on Cox' speech which
have been coming to Dayton do not
wholly coincide with the impression
made on those democratic leaders
who came to hear it In perscn and
who have been departing for their
homes during the early part of thej
week. "" )
These democratic leaders can be
roughly divided into two classes, the
ones who are friends of Wilson and
the administration and the ones who
are not. Of these two memberships,
the former are pleased and jubilant,
the latter went home disappointed
and In some cases angry.
Wilson Haters Made Cox.
Cox go his nomination almost
wholly from men who hate Wilson.
In naming Cox one of the principal
motives was the feeling that they
were getting even with the Wilson
administration for grievances which
they felt the administration haU put
upon them, grievances chiefly In the
nature of denial of patronage.
The feeling now Is that Cox wishes
to dissociate himself from close
Identity with this anti-Wilson wing
of the party. This feeling Is based
not merely on the heartiness of Cox'
Indorsement of the leagueof nations.
but also on other passages from his
speech and to other acts of his, some
of them in connection with the re
organization of the party machinery.
Tammany Frovraed On.
Judged by the standards that in
dependent voters are apt to apply.
Cox himself undoubtedly has and de
sires to have a higher place in their
estimation than Tammany and New
Jersey machine and the other forces
that nominated him.
Also, It is apparent that Cox wants
the public to understand that he per
sonally had no pre-convention under
standing with the men and did not
get their support by virtue of promises
made to them. Probably it is fair to
Cox to say that his only obligation
to these elements of the party is the
obligation implied in the fact that he
is the beneficiary of their actions.
Of course, while that does not con
stitute his only obligation to these
men. and . while that obligation is
wholly one of Implication, neverthe
less it Is an obligation which the ac
cepted rules of practical "politics call
on a man in Cox' position to live up
to scrupulously.
Wllaoa Foes Angered.
That Cox should now have the
manner not merely of holding out the
olive branch, that of handing the key
of the whole house to those demo
cratic leaders who are friends of Wil
son is a cause of disapoin tment and
anger to those anti-Wilson leaders
who think he is under obligation to
stand with them.
These leaders and most of those
who came to Dayton to take part In
the notification do not fear at all
the charge made by the republican
senator Marry New that Cox in his
speech wants to "straddle" to the
league.
Real Support Desired.
iney mins cox meant to take a
stand out of which Wilson and Wil
son's friends would get unqualified
support. They think that Cox In his
speech meant to invite and now ought
to receive from Wilson's friends not
merely the conventional lip service
of regular party men. But ail the
enthusiastic and the earnestly active
support which they put into electing
Wilson in 1913 and 1916.
Those leaders who are either luke
warm personally about the league
or who represent states In which the
legue Is not a popular issue did not
hesitate to let the party manage
ment know that In the light of Cox'
speech they cannot be. responsible
for as large a vote in November as
they otherwise . had expected to
deliver.

How to .accomplish $21,000,000
worth of work with , $9,000,000 is a
problem which members of the state
highway commission will discuss at &
special meeting in S. Benson's office
tomorrow. Coincident with tabula
tion of these figures being presented
to the commission yesterday came
delegations from the Auto Dealers'
association demanding that main
trunk lines be paved before side roads
are developed; came a delegation
from Astoria urging immediate pave
ment of the section between Astoria
and Seaside; came a delegation from
The Dalles asking paving from Hood
River to The Dalles and Ll Dufur;
came a delegation from Oswego ask
ing hard surface this year. And there
were others.
Most important of all the matters
before the commission yesterday was
the typed statement showing how
much remains to be done on main
highways and the money required.
The apparent result of this statement
will be the trimming away of all sec
ondary road projects If the main
trunk lines are to be pushed to com
pletion as mapped out.
Requlremests Are- Listed.
Here is the way that $21. S93, 135
will be spent if the commission has
enough funds to carry out the main
trunk system. The report shows how
many miles of grading, .macadam.
paving and bridges win oe required
